Produktinformationen zu „The River Ends Here (ePub)“
Freedom and opportunity have always been dear to the hearts of Americans. So it was for Caleb McCabe, son of a famous Virginia military family. Although he abhorred slavery, he was disarmed when the radical abolitionist John Brown attacked the federal armory at Harpers Ferry. Having witnessed Browns hanging, Caleb and others concluded that more abolitionists would exert their demands over the Southern states. On April 15, when President Lincoln ordered Virginia to supply troops to take up arms against the South Carolina secessionists who fired on Fort Sumter, he and other Virginians found it a hard pill to swallow. On April 17, the Virginia Convention voted to secede. Accepting a commission with the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, Lieutenant McCabe would change everything. His marriage, his attitudes toward war, and his mental state would be tested more than he could ever have imagined and more than most men could ever be expected to withstand.
Autoren-Porträt von Deacon Ray O'Kelly
Deacon Ray was a journalist, poet, lyricist, and business writer, and now has penned his first novel. He brings together his writing skills coupled with his knowledge of Civil War history in Virginia.Between college and graduate school, he joined the United States Army. His training in combat arms as an officer in the Vietnam War has given him a unique perspective not only in the art of war but also the horrors that war creates. He was surprised to discover that the tactical military decisions in Vietnam closely paralleled the same types of challenges faced by military leaders in the American Civil War.
After graduate school in history at the University of Richmond, he became a professional salesman, representing several large pharmaceutical companies. Here he studied human behavior and marketing techniques.
Living in and around Richmond, Virginia for over thirty years, he came in close contact with the history of the Confederate States of America. Reading extensively and visiting nearby battlefields helped him understand the challenges and choices of both Union and Confederate generals. He credits his former history professors from the University of Richmond Graduate School with encouragement to pursue his Civil War novel.
He and his wife live in Indian Land, South Carolina, and belong to Forest Hill Church in Charlotte, North Carolina.
